MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) today obtained the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services’ official disclosed salaries for the Versus-televised card.

UFC on Versus 5 took place at Milwaukee’s Bradley Center. In addition to the Versus-televised main card, which saw the retiring Chris Lytle submit Dan Hardy in his final MMA bout, a deep eight-fight preliminary card streamed on Facebook.

Now, the usual disclaimer: The figures do not include deductions for
items such as insurance, licenses and taxes. Additionally, the figures
do not include money paid by sponsors, which can oftentimes be a
substantial portion of a fighter’s income. They also do not include any
other “locker room” or special bonuses the UFC oftentimes pays. They
also do not include portions of the pay-per-view revenue that some
top-level fighters receive.

For example, as previously reported, UFC officials handed out additional $65,000 UFC on Versus 5 bonuses to Cerrone (“KO of the Night”), Lytle (“Submission of the Night” and “Fight of the Night”), and Hardy (“Fight of the Night”).

In other words, the above figures are simply base salaries reported to
the commission and do not reflect entire compensation packages for the
event.

A total of 26 fighters got their chance to shine on Saturday as part of UFC 190 at Rio de Janeiro’s HSBC Arena. Now that UFC 190 is in the books, it’s time to commence MMAjunkie’s “Three Stars” ceremony.

The man known for cranking submissions to the point of injury added eye-gouging to his repertoire. But is the controversy of Rousimar Palhares too essential to his bizarre, awful appeal for his employers to take any meaningful action against him?
